Automated Optical Lockin Thermography OTvis ML

The testing of adhesive joints may be required with regard to strength or heat transfer. Active thermography helps to check even complex adhesive joints and to determine the adhesive distribution, for example.

For composite structures, it’s all about laminate integrity, i.e. detection of ply structure, prevention of delamination within the laminate, detection of dry spots or resin build-up, inspection of coatings, and much more…

A test takes between a few seconds and several minutes, depending on the material and thickness. Ideally, the test takes place stationary, but can also be carried out in continuous motion if necessary.
